PBX1基因剪切体表达与SLE的相关研究

了解PBX1基因各种剪切体的表达在SLE患者和正常人中是否存在差异 ,探讨PBX1的表达与SLE发病的相关性。通过PCR扩增及毛细管芯片电泳 ,确证剪切体h、k、l存在于人体 ;通过实时荧光定量PCR技术 ,对剪切体h、k、l分别进行SLE患者组和正常组的mRNA表达定量比较。结果发现这 3种剪切体在患者组中的表达较正常人明显降低 ,正常人的表达是SLE的 9～ 12倍。重度患者的k、l剪切体与轻中度的病人相比表达明显降低 ,并发狼疮性肾炎的病人k剪切体的表达较无肾累及的病人显著降低。说明PBX1基因剪切体h、k、l在SLE患者中mRNA表达水平下降 ,并与SLE活动度及肾累及有关。提示机体通过PBX1的表达量的调节可能参与SLE的发病     

聚醚型聚氨酯材料表面纤维蛋白原的吸附性研究

本文采用放射性同位素标记的方法研究了嵌段聚醚型聚氨酯在纯纤维蛋白原溶液中和稀释血浆中的表面纤维蛋白原吸附性规律，考察了聚醚型聚氨酯的特性粘数及溶液体系中的ＮａＣｌ浓度对材料表面纤维蛋白原吸附性的影响，结果表明，随着聚合物特性粘数的增大，材料表面的纤维蛋白原吸附量呈降低的趋势；溶液体系中盐浓度的降低导致纤维蛋白原凝固性增强，在纯纤维蛋白原溶液中，材料表面纤维蛋白原的吸附量相应增多，而在稀释血浆中，纤维蛋白原的吸附量相应减少，在达到最低值后又有上升的趋向，表明纤维蛋白原在材料表面的吸附还受血浆中其它大分子的影响。     

Rapid, accurate genotyping of the common -alpha(4.2) thalassaemia deletion based on the use of denaturing HPLC

AIMS: To develop an alternative assay for specific genotyping of the -alpha(4.2) thalassaemia deletion based on the DNA sequence features surrounding the breakpoint. METHODS: The 5' and 3' ends of the breakpoint regions of the -alpha(4.2) allele and the normal homologous segments were sequenced in Chinese individuals. A sequence haplotype composed of four single nucleotide variations within the X2/X1 box of the -alpha(4.2) breakpoint region was found in all of the 10 Chinese -alpha(4.2) thalassaemia alleles studied. Based on these findings, a novel polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) assay was developed for rapid genotyping of the -alpha(4.2) allele instead of traditional Southern blotting or Gap-PCR. This method involves amplification of the alpha globin target sequence encompassing these four polymorphic sites, followed by a partially denaturing HPLC analysis using the transgenomic WAVE DNA fragment analysis system. RESULTS: The three major genotypes (-alpha4.2/alphaalpha, -alpha(4.2)/--SEA, and alphaalpha/alphaalpha) could be distinguished through the characteristic chromatograms generated by the WAVE system. The accuracy of this technique was evaluated blindly, and the results were 100% (40 of 40) concordant with the genotypes previously characterised by Southern blotting or Gap-PCR. CONCLUSIONS: This study validates the PCR/DHPLC approach as a simple, rapid, highly accurate, and cost effective method, potentially adaptable for use in epidemiological surveys, genetic screening, and diagnosis of silent alpha+ thalassaemia and Hb H disease.     

Inhibitory effect of intrathecal meptazinol on carrageenan-induced thermal hyperalgesia in rats

The effect of meptazinol in the spinal cord on carrageenan-induced hyperalgesia was investigated. The latency of paw withdrawal (PWL) to a thermal stimulus was used as an index of inflammatory hyperalgesia in awake rats. Intrathecal (i.t.) injection of 10 and 100 microg meptazinol markedly increased the PWL of the carrageenan-injected paw (P<0.01). The PWL of the non-injected paw was not detectably affected by the administration of meptazinol at the doses tested. I.t. injection of naloxone (5 microg) or atropine (1 microg) alone exhibited no effect on the PWLs of either the carrageenan-injected or non-injected paw. Pretreatment with naloxone, but not atropine, completely blocked the meptazinol-induced anti-hyperalgesia. These observations suggested that mu opioid receptor rather than muscarinic acetylcholine receptor may be involved in the anti-hyperalgesia of meptazinol in the spinal cord.     

Segmentation of Bacteria Image Based on Level Set Method

In biology ferment engineering, accurate statistics of the quantity of bacteria is one of the most important subjects. In this paper, the quantity of bacteria which was observed traditionally manuauy can be detected automatically. Image acquisition and processing system is designed to accomplish image preprocessing, image segmentation and statistics of the quantity of bacteria. Segmentation of bacteria images is successfully realized by means of a region-based level set method and then the quantity of bacteria is computed precisely, which plays an important role in optimizing the growth conditions of bacteria.     

中风发病后6—9月的生命质量

目的 比较发病后6－9月的中风患者与正常对照的健康差异,以明确针对中风患者的社区卫生服务应着手解决的健康问题。方法 对150例中风后6－9月的患者及按照性别、年龄、居住环境进行1：1配对的正常对照,采用SF－36进行健康自评,比较不同领域的健康状况。结果 患者生命质量在躯体功能、生理性角色功能受限、 社会功能、活力4个领域（P＜0．01）随年龄的增加而降低。男性生命质量在总体健康（P＝0．017）、躯体功能（P＝0．015）、活力和精神健康（P＜0．01）等4个领域好于女性。患者与对照比较,除了疼痛（P＝0．289）领域外,患者生命质量的各个领域均差于对照（P≤0．001）。结论 患者以发病后6－9月时,除了存在严重的躯体功能障碍之外,还有严重的心理、社会功能障碍以及角色功能障碍。其中,精神健康和女性患者是工作重点。     

运动训练对慢性应激大鼠β—内啡肽分泌的影响

目的：探讨运动训练对慢性应激大鼠β－内啡肽（β－EP）分泌的变化。方法：对大鼠进行为期8周的不同负荷运动训练,并在运动训练后期给予3周的冷刺激,测定大鼠下丘脑和血清中β－EP的含量。结果：（1）经过3周的冷应激后,大鼠产生显著的身心变化,下丘脑和血清β－EP的含量均显著升高,从而表明冷应激可使机体β－ED的合成和释放增多。（2）经过8周的运动训练后,大鼠下丘脑β－EP含量显著升高,血清β－EP含量显著下降;而对运动训练的大鼠施加冷刺激后,大鼠下丘脑和血清中β－EP含量显著低于应激组,以中等负荷运动训练组最为明显。结论：运动训练可以减少内源性β－EP的释放,有效对抗大鼠机体对冷刺激产生的应激反应,维持机体在应激状态下内分泌功能的稳定。     

护理人员应付方式的相关因素分析

目的 探讨影响护理人员应付方式的相关因素。方法 采用应付方式问卷和艾森克个性问卷对303名护理人员进行评定。结果 护理人员的应付方式与个性心理特征相关性较大,与年龄和护龄不呈线性关系,与是否倒班和不同的科室无关。4－5年和6－8年护龄的护理人员在应用解决问题应付方式上,比其他护龄组明显减少。结论 应加强护理人员,尤其是工作4－8年的护理人员的应付方式的指导。
